Description
This module consists of placing students in a professional context, in relation to a cosmetics development and production company or raw materials supplier. The module will be organized in the form of industrial projects:
Students are divided into groups, as would be the case in a scientific team. They will therefore have to apply their theoretical knowledge in close collaboration with the manufacturer. The manufacturer will be able to guide them or help them contact new suppliers, compile a cosmetics dossier, conduct market research, etc., depending on the project assigned.
Activity reports will be produced via the sharing networks commonly used in the industry. The groups will be required to work independently, following specifications defined by the manufacturer, in line with the diploma program.
This could involve, for example, developing an innovative product in compliance with French and European regulations, or countertyping.
